Audrey Tautou trains as a sailor

French actress Audrey Tautou is eyeing a career away from the big screen — she’s training to be a sailor.

The “Amelie” star, 34, plans to retire when she hits 40 and she’s already working on her next move by undertaking a five-year course in navigating the high seas.

She tells Marie Claire, “A few years ago I thought at 40 I’d stop. Because maybe I would have wanted to do something else. I don’t know. There are many things that I like apart from my work.

“Also, I want to become a sailor…. So like in five years I will be ready and I will be on my boat around the world. I would love to do that. I would love to cross the Atlantic. It may never happen but I would love to do that. It has been a dream for ages. Sailors, for me, are heroes. Like Ellen MacArthur. That impressed me.”
